Fabulous sandwich shop in LIttle Italy on Murray Hill. The shop is intimate and simple. The owners are super friendly and kind and happily explained the menu to me. They have about 8 or 9 sandwich options all made to order on a crispy focaccia bread. They also offer my favorite, San Pellegrino Italian sodas and homemade chocolate chip sea salt cookies. They slice the meat for you right there and it was all super fresh. I got the #2 which had salami, prosciutto, and capicola with burrata and pickled hot peppers. The sandwich was good and tasted really fresh. I really enjoyed the burrata. I also did not miss the fact that there was no sauce or spread on it. I'm not a huge fan of crispy or hard bread, so I think I would have loved it even more if there was a soft bread option. I definitely look forward to returning though, maybe they do have another bread option available, I didn't ask. You can also customize the sandwich, so I would have added some arugula. The cookie was incredible! read more

The sandwiches were amazing. The chocolate chip cookies might be the best in all of Cleveland.

Incredible small sandwich stop in Little Italy. Reminds me of authentic places I ate at in Florence and Rome. Great service, great sandwiches. I had the #7, and family ordered other sandwiches (#1, #3) which were all so good. Family was only in town for three days and wanted this for lunch every day. The bread is a standout! A few bar top seats inside but otherwise mostly takeout. Need to return and try the cookies! read more

Let me start by saying I'm only a moderate fan of pesto and burrata. I like them, but I'm not one of those people who swoons at their mere mention. I don't seek them out. It was really the mortadella and pistachio that guided me to #8, but it's the pesto and burrata I'll remember. This sandwich was a true delight, rather like munching on a happy Italian cloud. Everything about it was so smooth, creamy, and relaxed. The only unrelaxed part was my voracious attack on it. Added bonus -- you won't feel like you need a nap afterwards. Filling but also light. This is a tiny little store with friendly clerks. You must give it a try! read more

An absolutely delightful find! We were looking for an amazing lunch spot and found it here. The service was great and quite personable. It was like ordering from a friend. We went with his recommendation, the #2 sandwich, and wow was it good. Everything is quality, fresh, and in the ideal proportion to each other. My husband and I split a sandwich but selfishly I wanted the whole thing for myself. They have two cute tables outside and it was fun to be in the fresh air and take in the comings and goings in Little Italy. Just go. You will be glad you did. We can't wait to go back. read more

Still dreaming of the Bread! So delicious, everything about the sandwiches.... Best ingredients. I had the smoked turkey with avocado... I would definitely add peppers next time and skip the mayo. The kids and hubby got a variety of different sandwiches. This will definitely be a must on every trip back to little Italy by case western university , Ohio . read more

Finally got the chance to try out Affettati and their sandwiches didn't disappoint! I'm not a big fan of cured meats but these sandwiches were really good! Service was quick and everyone was very friendly! We ordered the 1 and 2 and both were similar but different. Bread was soft yet crunchy, meats were good quality and ingredients were fresh! read more

The entire city is raving about Affettati. It's brand new to CLE's food scene. And so, I really wanted to stop in for a while. Miraculously I found parking in Little Italy on a Sunday afternoon! I finally tried Affettati! Name: Fun fact is Affettati means sliced meats in Italian. Way more charming than our term "cold cuts"! And what a beautiful pronounciation! Location: Affettati is a small charming cafe in the heart of Little Italy. You can find it nestled between Cent Anni and Valerio's. It's everything I'd imagine an Italian cafe to be - brick building, a little balcony overhead, and dainty cafe tables. Food: The menu is uncomplicated. Select your favorite from seven choices on the chalkboard menu. I selected #1 - prosciutto, ricotta, mozzarella, red onion, and arugula. I just can't simply say "no" to prosciutto. The sandwich was on the smaller side but very tasty. You can absolutely taste high-quality ingredients. Sometimes I'm very overwhelmed by the stack of meats on other sandwiches so this was perfect light meal! Every sandwich comes on freshly baked bread baked in house oven. It's very tasty! And so, this is a small batch production based on the amount of bread prepared for the day. I was stunned by the price of $12 which seemed very low. The owner shared that prices will slightly increase soon. Aside from sandwiches you'll find simple drinks like bottled water and Sanpellegrino. There are also tasty looking chocolate chip cookies! Seating: Seating inside is limited. This location is mainly takeaway. There is a small bar with a chair. There are a few small tables available outside. You can also take your sandwich on a walk to a nearby park (Tony Brush Park) or walk around the neighborhood. I just love walking around cobblestone roads in Little Italy, which is exactly what I did after grabbing takeout. Service: Service is friendly and efficient. The owner works solo at the store. My sandwich was made to order, was ready in just minutes. Parking: Street and valet parking is available in the area. Be vigilant about signage. Some areas are designated for residents and valet. I'll definitely return to try all seven sandwiches. The sandwich sizes are especially perfect for summer - light and very well prepared! I recommend that you also check out this charming cafe! read more

We decided to try the small sandwich shop in little Italy and we were surprised by how much we loved it! I'm not sure if this person is the owner, but the same person has made our sandwiches the three times we have gone there and they are very kind and answered any questions we had. They made the sandwiches pretty quickly and we were in and out in under 10 minutes. The sandwiches are pretty big and very good. My favorite is the #1 and the meat is on the saltier side but it is balanced out very nicely with the other components. The bread is like a thin focaccia which I love. We look forward to continuing to try all the sandwiches! read more

Affettati - #1 - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

It's always fun to see a new place in Little Italy, so I was excited to check out Affetati. I split the #4, a portobello mushroom, red pepper and brie sandwich ($12) The bread was perfectly crispy, and I really liked the contrast between the brie and the mushrooms. I will say that the mushrooms were too salty for my taste, but my friend didn't see nothing wrong with it, so YMMV. There's a couple of barstools inside and some seating outside for when the weather is nice, but this is definitely a grab and go type place. I'm looking forward to try the caprese sandwich soon! read more

Amazing little sandwich spot that totally hit the spot. The bread was this incredible focaccia-style loaf--soft, flavorful, and perfectly toasted. We had the pesto turkey bacon sandwich, which was absolutely delicious--fresh ingredients and just the right balance of pesto and saltiness from the bacon. My wife and I split one, and it was the perfect afternoon snack for a pair of wandering tourists exploring Cleveland. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby! read more

While the staff is great and very attentive the real stars here are the incredible sandwiches. Be prepared to be disappointed with every sandwich you have *after* going here because nothing else measures up to their combination of amazing ingredients, bread right out of the oven, and fresh sliced meats. It is the best sandwich you will ever have. Period. I live 200 miles from Affettati but am seriously considering a road trip just for lunch. It's that good. read more

Walked to this place for lunch. I was very surprised at the great quality of food I found here. The focaccia bread used for the sandwich was crispy and fresh! The atmosphere is simple. There is no place to dine in. It is pick up and carry out only. The choices are written on a blackboard and you choose your number. I had the Turkey, bacon, avocado and it was delicious. Mayo with herbs made from Scratch and quality turkey meat. If you are in the area you should check it out. Service was great. read more

Absolutely delicious sandwiches!! Such a great addition to Little Italy. Not sure if it was the owner or an employee when we visited, but he was very friendly. There were a few stools inside and a few tables outside but limited seating. More of a to go place! Also loved that they had cold water available for $1. I believe all sandwiches were priced at $12. I will definitely be back! read more

Definitely a nice addition to the Little Italy neighborhood. Called in on a Sunday, the guy on the phone was kind and cheerfully answered any questions I had about the menu.We got #2 and #7. This place is definitely comparable to ciabatta sandwich places in Italy. I will say that their cured meat was a little on the saltier side, but overall I would definitely come back. Perfect place to grab sandwiches for an outdoor picnic, or some other activity with friends. read more

Daily selection of made in front of you Italian sandwiches on ciabatta that is fresh made in house. Delicious burrata on my salami and coppa sandwich today ($12). It was two pieces and enough for two small meals! Huge soft chocolate chip cookies for $4. Some sodas also available. Quick hole in the wall with gourmet to go sandwiches and super friendly staff! Not too expensive either. Great spot in town for a huge sandwich. read more

Affettati - Big chocolate chip cookie - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I visited Affettati for lunch when I was taking my Mom to an appointment nearby. I had the #8, mortadella, burrata, pistachio, and pesto. The toppings were fresh and delicious. The fresh baked bread was crispy on the outside but nice and fresh in the middle. It's a little shop good for picking up a sandwich quickly. The staff was friendly and answered my unfamiliar Mom's questions about the ingredients. If I'm back in the area I'll definitely want to stop in again. read more

Genuinely impressed. High quality bread and ingredients. #1 was phenomenal. Simple but delicious. I had to tell him that their sandwich was life-changing. You can also custom make your own and the service is fantastic. Mom and pop feel. We spent a lunch sitting by the window, people watching, smelling all the wonderful smells of little Italy and it was great. read more

Some of the best sandwiches in town! They taste like a nice NY pizza crust stuffed with awesome meats and fillings. Had a good conversation with the owner. He seems like a very cool person and had some good tunes playing. The sandwiches are all set up nicely in a grab and go case. Highly recommend coming to Little Italy and having some great Italian sandwiches! read more

A very nice sandwich place located in Little Italy where the sandwiches are made fresh. Ordering is easy. You can go by the description or what they look like in the case. I got the #7 without cheese. The bread was cooked fresh and had a slight crunch that made it more delicious. The sandwich is huge so I can have some for later. The gentleman was very friendly and I can't wait to try another sandwich. It was exactly what I was looking for. A must try! read more

I had the Turkey sandwich and it couldn't have been any better. Perfectly balanced flavors, delicious crunch in every bite with just a touch of salt at first bite. Service was super quick. Parking is not easy to find in Little Italy, but the whole venture took maybe 15 minutes and so worth it! read more

Excellent. Very fresh and the people are nice too. Have been there a few times and will keep coming back!

My fiancé and I both had the #2 sandwich and really enjoyed them. Very rustic sandwiches with the perfect balance of ingredients. We also loved that the bread is a thin focaccia style. Staff was also very nice and clearly put a lot of love into their food New favorite sandwich in CLE no doubt read more

Just go. If you're in the area and like sandwiches, you should try it. If you're not in the area and like sandwiches you should try it. Or you're in the area and are indifferent towards sandwiches. You should still go. Fresh baked bread that's unlike anything I've tasted, high quality ingredients in delicious combinations, incredibly helpful owner and staff. If you hate bread, meat and cheese, or two of the three, this may not be the place for you. read more

Visited from Chicago, it's the perfect sandwich. Awesome crunchy bread and loads of flavor. The staff was great too.

This place has the best sandwich bread around. My only complaint is they go light on the meat. Like some bites only had a single slice of lunch meat on it. But it's definitely worth going and checking them out! read more

The best sandwiches in possibly the US, 1-7 try them all!!! The newest addition, the turkey bacon avocado is a 10. This is the best bread I've ever had read more

Great sandwiches. Roast beef is great. I really enjoy the bread they use for the sandwiches.

Absolutely DELICIOUS but can you please be open Monday through Wednesday I love taking my little dude to the park and hitting Affettafis after! He loves it too! read more

A small, barebones but excellent sandwich shop in Little Italy. It was a one man operation. Bread was crisp and chewy. Good quality toppings. I loved the creamy cheese and the fact that there is balsamic vinegar for drizzling. Wish my bread was fresh out of the oven- next time I'll ask for it. There were some fresh breads cooling down. Chocolate chip cookie was amazing. Worth the calories. Good value for what you get. read more

Super delish Sammy and very nice and helpful staff. Very small interior so not really any room to eat there.
